Claim 691 Louis Gravier
This is a claim to a certain house lot situ-
-ated [situated] in the district of Kikihale, Honolulu, Oahu.
From the Evidence taken in this claim, it
appears, that John Jason, some time previous
to the Year 1837, obtained these Premises from H. E.
M. Kekuanaoa, in consideration of certain services
rendered by Jason in the capacity of Blacksmith,
that Jason improved the place, and lived there
in peace, until the year 1844; when he sold the
same to Isaac Montgomery, for the sum of
Two hundred and fifty dollars; that subsequently
in the same Year, Montgomery sold all his Right
Tittle [sic] and Interest, in these Premises to the
claimant Louis Gravier, for the sum of
Five hundred dollars.
From this Evidence, it is clear that,
whatever Rights or Title H. E. M. Kekuanoa
had in this land, is vested now in the Claimant.
The title of the chiefs, and consequently of
Kekuanoaoa, has been settled to be a freehold
title less than allodial; and therefore, we
confirm the same to the Claimant Louis
Gravier, which freehold less than allodial,
the claiment may commute into a fee-simple
title as prescribed by law
The boundaries of this lot are those set
forth in the annexed Survey made by T Metcalf
Esquire on 4th day of March 1848.
